I’ve been trying not to remember all the little comments my family makes around me but they always come back. My husband saying : 1: You’re skin and bones 🦴 2: I miss your fat, we should have had a funeral for it. 3: What is it about this program that makes you stick to it? My son saying : 1: Are you happy with your weight now? I don’t think you need to lose anymore. 2: It’s ok if you don’t want to eat this food because you’re on a cut and I’m on a bulk for rugby. 3: I can get a 6 pack for this summer so I can look good at the swimming club. I have so many things that would love to say as an answer to all those comments. But question number 3 from my husband sure got me thinking 🤔. I think the support and the community. Especially with Skool now helps tremendously. Thank you to all of you my BBB family.

BUT I did it anyways. I went to the gym 4 times this weeks. Twice with strength training and like today ...I just did some walk on the treadmill. I didn't wanna but my body is my temple. I did it for myself because coach said....I am worthy. It was hard to move on but I did it and what it did was echoed all over this group. You NEVER feel bad for working out. My motivation...my socks.

Hello Monday… yeah I’m alive. 😅👋 Sorry I’ve been on a little hiatus from Skool… life was LIFING. MBA ramping up + work go-live software updates + work audit support + kids musical performances + kid birthday parties… and ohhh exciting news: after my MBA I’m going to start the process to get nationally certified as a group fitness instructor 🥹💪 (more on that soon!) BUT… I still showed up today. Snow didn’t stop me from getting into the gym after kids’ school drop-off. ❄️🏋️‍♀️ And I hit Full Body Workout A and set 4 new PRs today!! 🔥👏 Also… yes I was squatting on the Smith machine with my heels on plates so I could get deeper into the squat without annoying my left knee that’s currently mad at me for excessive pickleball this weekend. 🥲😂 (We’re training smart, not stubborn.) Anyway… I’m back. I’m moving. I’m proud. ✅ Drop a quick win from your Monday below so I can hype you up! 👇💛

We talked about: - why isn't my weight going down if i'm in a deficit??? - how to deal with sugar cravings - how to deal with a sick week - how are muscles made? - my four best exercises you don't skip ⭐️ Share YOUR four best exercises that you don't skip! ⬇️

Sometimes my wife surprises me, especially considering she doesn't usually beef, but today she asked for it. And here we go... Beef Tenderloin 🥩: - Used 3.5g of salt and dry-brined it on the 291g tenderloin' (it's quite thick!), letting it rest in the fridge for at least an hour. - Added a tiny bit of avocado oil on a cold stainless steel pan. Rub it with the tenderloin to "spread" it. - Now the magic part... turn on a medium-low fire and let the tenderloin rest there. Flatten it a bit, but LEAVE IT ALONE. - When you start seeing a bit of brown emerge at the bottom, move the steak around the pan. You should see more brown, that's the signal to flip. - Repeat for a total flip of 2 times per large side, then sear the sides of the tenderloin. - Add in some butter for final basting. - I swear cold searing works very well on thick steaks. Veggie Roast 🥕🍆: - I tossed the carrots and eggplants/brinjal with some avocado oil and salt. Roasted them at 220 deg C for around 25mins? (Was playing by ear) - The highlight on this day was the hummus... decided to try making from scratch again - 1 can of chickpeas, juice from half a lemon, 3 tablespoons tahini, drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, 1 clove of smashed garlic. - Played with my newly-bought Powerpac hand blender! Brrrrr Whirrrrrrr (User review: motor is very silent). - Daughter even had some hummus with the carrots, I call that a win. "Claypot" rice 🍚: Well, nothing much to say here... I used the spice paste from the Asian Home Gourmet brand. It's kinda on the sweet side, so I may have added a lil' bit of soy sauce and oyster sauce. All in a rice-cooker. We finished everything! But I learnt something about the hummus today and it sent me on a roller-coaster with the tracking... but never mind, I have already "closed shop", and I shall just assume it has that much fat. - Many hummus entries on MFP has a high amount of fat! That contributed to my 876kcal dinner entry. - When I searched for a typical chickpea entry on MFP, the fat was high too. - The above 2 searches were done with 1 cranky baby and 1 hyperactive-with-tantrums 3yo... so I didn't really scrutinize that much. - Today, I found out that the chickpea can I used (Daucy brand) has a lot less fat than the MFP entries, I should have made my own entry, considering I did not use a lot of olive oil too... - Guess that means I can try to estimate this evening if I reach home early and before I fetch the 3yo energizer bunny from school 😆
